About Me

I am a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford Graduate School of Business, where I have the privilege of working with Guido Imbens, Stefan Wager, and Kuang Xu, and collaborating with Ramesh Johari and Airbnb. Previously, I received my Ph.D. degree in Decision, Risk, and Operations from Columbia Business School, where I was very fortunate to be advised by Daniel Russo. My research interests lie at the interface of sequential decision-making under uncertainty and statistical machine learning, including theory and applications of multi-armed bandits, sequential design of experiments, causal inference, and reinforcement learning—with an emphasis on addressing real-world challenges. This min-course provides an overview of my research. Outside academia, I have interned at Scale AI, Google DeepMind, Amazon Web Services AI Lab, and Adobe Research.
